At St Augustine’s, we are dedicated to ensuring that we nurture the development of the whole child. We encourage our children to  grow in self-esteem, understand others, learn how to be a friend and to be a vital part of the whole school community. We support every child in developing their full potential morally, spiritually, culturally, intellectually and physically, and in doing so encourage them to grow in to rounded individuals capable of making a positive contribution to society and the environment in which they are to live.

Through our Christian ethos, our core values are: respect, honesty, care and friendship. These values are built into the ethos and teaching of the school and are modelled by everyone who works at St Augustine’s. We are committed to actively promoting the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different values and beliefs; our pupils are encouraged to develop and demonstrate skills and attitudes that will allow them to participate fully in and contribute positively to life in modern Britain.

We take pride in how inclusive and diverse we are. We have a whole school approach to teaching the Equality Act 2010, which teaches our children that everyone is welcome at St Augustine’s- there are 'No Outsiders'. We respect one another’s race, religion, identity, age, disabilities, sexual orientation and gender. We value our multicultural community and celebrate our links with St Augustine's Centre and their work with refugees and asylum seekers. We are actively working towards becoming a recognised School of Sanctuary for all the work that we do to support our pupils and their families, including those who are new to the country.
